Performance and optimization of microchannel condensers

This study is the first to document the condensation heat transfer performance of small diameter, microchannel tubes in crossflow heat exchange, and this study provides the first systematic evaluation of the effect of port shape on microchannel tube performance. Furthermore, this study is the first to suggest methods for improving microchannel heat exchanger designs.
